If we had universal health care in this country do you think Covid 19 test kits for the home

would be easier to access, instead of going through a health insurer provider....for repayment?

You can buy them at Walgreens or Walmart. Stop wanting everything for "FREE"

When I was in Walgreens a couple of weeks ago they had three stand-alone BinaxNOW displays at different points in the store. Cumulatively the display had north of 50 2-packs at ~$25 per 2-pack (plus who knows how many more in their storage area). Were I there to buy one, I'm 99.999% sure I could have paid for it from my FSA. OTOH, I think PCR tests are paid for by the Feds (with tax $$, obviously).

does this DUmmy really think that government run universal health care will be competent enough to get him the chi-vi test kits when he needs them and as often as he thinks he needs them?

Hell, He probably thinks that he can request 100 kits a month so he can test hisself 3 times a day, even more on Sundays

Of course, it's that magical leftist definition of 'free' too - that somebody else pays for them.

Apparently, I can get a pack of seven tests every day from the wretched N.H.S. - given their procurement I'm sure that I'm paying several times as much for them as if I had to get them from the pharmacist.
